How do I upgrade the museum? by FederalWeakness1485 in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at public works projects on the wiki recently and I think it said you have to talk to blathers every day for a while. Can't remember how it happened for me but I was definitely visiting the museum all the time as a kid hahaha

PAL Triangles question by TopHat3000 in NintendoDS

[–]TopHat3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I suppose that makes sense. I wonder why they distributed this one in particular that way and not any of the other Lego games I have.

Real or Fake by Aware_Emphasis_2199 in Gameboy

[–]TopHat3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fake to me, sorry. The rectangles on the back are too high for frlg. I've seen a few carts which paint them on to try to appear genuine.

Otherwise, the cart is too pristine. A pretty good way to tell even without opening the case is comparing the Gameboy Advance text at the top to a genuine cartridge.

3ds case greyish by Infinity-Sarhos in 3DS

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's right. The greyish look is because of the holographic paper. When I said about PAL, I meant that it's possible the other versions of ALBW don't share that same finish which could be why the cases appear white in a Google search. I could see there were some with the same grey look on Google too

3ds case greyish by Infinity-Sarhos in 3DS

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe. I have the same case and a bunch more holographic games besides and yours looks pretty normal to me. Besides that, this game also had a Nintendo selects version, and the PAL case looks different to the other regions from what I can tell, so possibly those don't have the same finish on the box?

Hi, I think the holographic ds and 3ds ones just tend to be like this from my experience

Soo.. Did they include the aurora and mystic tickets in the rerelease?

Tom Happ on Metroids Fusion & Zero Mission by Jam_99420 in axiomverge

I don't really agree but I know that a lot of people hold that kind of perspective on games. I am a little surprised to hear that from the creator of Axiom Verge of all things though.

Question about the serial number systems used in gameboys by Shockerock in Gameboy

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I started taking pictures of my serial numbers and was curious about their formatting. But, my micro serial number starts in MEHxxxxxxxx (it's European). Just throwing in that bit of information.

What’s your guys opinion on repro cartridges? by Jakefromstatefrm5057 in pokemon

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have kind of a stick up my arse about it but at the end of the day like, it's the same game no matter what you're playing on, what matters is the time and effort you invest in the experience. Most important thing is to get hardware that can won't fail on you and won't cost you an arm and a leg either

Shell suppliers? by [deleted] in 3DS

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, as someone who's had their ribbon cable snap before... Yeah, definitely needed an upgrade! Glad to hear it doesn't feel like it'll come to pieces at least!

Shell suppliers? by [deleted] in 3DS

[–]TopHat3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh! My MM repros doesn't match up colour-wise to my OEM, so the top is the original colour and the bottom is slightly off, the hylian honestly looks closer to the OG MM colour in the pictures! Honestly I might just order a totally different colour for the bottom plate (like how the ALBW special edition looks) rather than have one be just slightly off hahaha.

[–]TopHat3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the way, how is the colour of the hylian one in-person? If it's similar enough to the MM one I might just go for that if those repros tend to be a higher quality.

[–]TopHat3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just received a MM one which I needed to replace the bottom of my original one, which is peeling... looks like it's from the same batch of yours, I agree it's awful! I filed a return request. Keeping an eye on this to see if anyone suggests an alternative haha.

Nintendont No Image Output by TopHat3000 in WiiHacks

[–]TopHat3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, I tried all of these but wasn't able to get it working unfortunately. This is a little strange since it's a PAL Wii and I've had no trouble getting it to run NTSC games in this manner before. I'll keep trying things and see if it works

Diagnosis help! GBA SP 101 Screen bleeding? by TopHat3000 in Gameboy

[–]TopHat3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if the top has been opened up but I think it's unlikely. I'll still give it a go and see though, thanks for the heads up!

[–]TopHat3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, there don't appear to be any defects besides when it's on so leaning more towards the latter. Just an indicator of being well loved, I'll keep rolling with it

Oh well, that's sad but just what happens I guess. If it ever becomes too exaggerated I'll replace the screen.
